Could you be wrong? Perhaps Uber drivers chose the profession by choice. Perhaps before the company Uber existed, these drivers would be less content.
Perhaps you or I are not smart enough to calculate what each individual wants and needs.
Despite the fact that we commit the world's most powerful computers to the cause, weather prediction systems are incredibly inaccurate. Should those wearing inappropriate attire be fined?
Yea, but I can turn the question right back around at you. You are trying to claim that this law shouldn't have passed because people can make the best decision for themselves. I am saying that I view this law passing as one of the best decisions for me. I do not want to work in an environment where companies can be this predatory without regulation. Letting companies do so will embolden other companies and then put downward pressure on my wages.
I think one thing you're getting at is this idea that all players can make locally optimal choices which result in a globally non-optimal solution. I.e. uber drivers could individually want to drive uber rather than work a 9/5 retail job, but all of them would have been better off unionizing or something.
The other thing sounds like "this policy is good for me personally so I'll support it", which is at least honest.
Taxis were an exact example of what you describe. How did that work out?
Have you ever asked an Uber driver how they feel about the law? All the ones I spoke with dislike it. You think you're doing good by forcing people how to live? Your position is either arrogant or uninformed. Uber driver loved their jobs and the freedom they provided until politicians came in to enforce your view of the world. If they couldn't figure out taxis, what make you think they can figure out Uber?
>Have you ever asked an Uber driver how they feel about the law?
I literally do not care about their opinion. I believe how Uber acts is bad for a society to let continue. The Uber drivers may be getting a good deal for themselves, but I think it has negative externalities that they themselves don't care about.
Someone may be fine getting abused, or it may even be the best deal they personally can get at the moment. When we watch it happen and let it happen we are implicitly condoning the behavior which leads to others to act just as bad or worse.
You are not going to change my mind on this by trying to convince me that the drivers don't want it, I already believe you and it is not influencing my decision
